[0041] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in this specification in the description of the present utility model are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not used to limit the present utility model. The term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , an aerosol generating device 100 is provided in an embodiment of the present application. The aerosol generating device 100 is generally in a flat and long cylindrical shape. The aerosol generating device 100 includes a housing 1, a carrier 2, a first magnetic member 3 and a second magnetic member 4; the carrier 2 is movably arranged in the housing 1, and the carrier 2 can reciprocate between a first position and a second position relative to the housing 1. The carrier 2 is used to accommodate at least a part of the aerosol generating article; the first magnetic member 3 is arranged on the housing 1; the second magnetic member 4 is arranged on the carrier 2; wherein, when the carrier 2 is in the first position, the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 4 cooperate to keep the carrier 2 in the first position, and when the carrier 2 is in the second position, the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 4 cooperate to keep the carrier 2 in the second position.

[0043] With the above structure, the carrier 2 moves between the first position and the second position under the drive of the user. When the drive of the user disappears, the carrier 2 can be kept in the first position or the second position, avoiding the carrier 2 from moving randomly between the first position and the second position.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer toFigures 3-6 The first magnetic member 3 successively has a first magnetic pole 31 and a second magnetic pole 32 with different polarities, and the second magnetic member 4 successively has a third magnetic pole 41 and a fourth magnetic pole 42 with different polarities. When the carrier 2 is in the first position, the second magnetic pole 32 and the third magnetic pole 41 cooperate to keep the carrier 2 in the first position. When the carrier 2 is in the second position, the first magnetic pole 31 and the fourth magnetic pole 42 cooperate to keep the carrier 2 in the second position.

[0045] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 3-6 The polarities of the first magnetic pole 31 and the fourth magnetic pole 42 are the same, and the polarities of the second magnetic pole 32 and the third magnetic pole 41 are the same. When the carrier 2 is in the first position, the second magnetic pole 32 and the third magnetic pole 41 generate a repulsive force, so that the carrier 2 has a force pointing from the second position to the first position, avoiding the carrier 2 moving from the first position towards the second position direction without user drive, and thus keeping the carrier 2 in the first position. When the carrier 2 is in the second position, the first magnetic pole 31 and the fourth magnetic pole 42 generate a repulsive force, so that the carrier 2 has a force pointing from the first position to the second position, avoiding the carrier 2 moving from the second position towards the first position direction without user drive, and thus keeping the carrier 2 in the second position. As an example, both the first magnetic pole 31 and the fourth magnetic pole 42 are S poles, and the second magnetic pole 32 and the third magnetic pole 41 are N poles, or both the first magnetic pole 31 and the fourth magnetic pole 42 are N poles, and the second magnetic pole 32 and the third magnetic pole 41 are both S poles.

[0046] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the polarities of the first magnetic pole 31 and the fourth magnetic pole 42 are opposite, and the polarities of the second magnetic pole 32 and the third magnetic pole 41 are opposite. When the carrier 2 is in the first position, the second magnetic pole 32 and the third magnetic pole 41 generate an adsorption force, avoiding the carrier 2 moving from the first position towards the second position direction without user drive, and thus keeping the carrier 2 in the first position. When the carrier 2 is in the second position, the first magnetic pole 31 and the fourth magnetic pole 42 generate an adsorption force, avoiding the carrier 2 moving from the second position towards the first position direction without user drive, and thus keeping the carrier 2 in the second position. As an example, one of the first magnetic pole 31 and the fourth magnetic pole 42 is an S pole, and the other of the first magnetic pole 31 and the fourth magnetic pole 42 is an N pole, one of the second magnetic pole 32 and the third magnetic pole 41 is an S pole, and the other of the first magnetic pole 31 and the fourth magnetic pole 42 is an N pole. In other words, when the first magnetic pole 31 is an S pole, the second magnetic pole 32 is an N pole, the third magnetic pole 41 is an S pole, and the fourth magnetic pole 42 is an N pole. When the first magnetic pole 31 is an N pole, the second magnetic pole 32 is an S pole, the third magnetic pole 41 is an N pole, and the fourth magnetic pole 42 is an S pole.

[0047] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4, the carrier 2 is provided with a first receiving groove 21, and the first magnetic member 3 is received in the first receiving groove 21, and / or, the housing 1 is provided with a second receiving groove 11, and the second magnetic member 4 is received in the second receiving groove 11, so as to prevent the first magnetic member 3 from being disposed on the surface of the carrier 2, and / or, prevent the second magnetic member 4 from being disposed on the surface of the housing 1, reducing the occupied space of the aerosol generating device 100.

[0048] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 , the housing 1 is provided with a first travel limiting member 12, and the carrier 2 is provided with a second travel limiting member 22. The first travel limiting member 12 and the second travel limiting member 22 cooperate to limit the travel of the carrier 2 sliding relative to the housing 1, thereby preventing the carrier 2 from separating from the housing 1. As an example, one of the first travel limiting member 12 and the second travel limiting member 22 is a slider, and the other is a travel limiting groove. The slider is disposed in the travel limiting groove, and the slider can slide along the travel limiting groove. The travel limiting groove is used to limit the travel of the slider. The travel limiting groove has a first slot and a second slot. When the carrier 2 is in the first position relative to the housing 1, the slider is disposed in the first slot. When the carrier 2 is in the second position relative to the housing 1, the slider is disposed in the second slot.

[0049] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 2-6 , the aerosol generating device 100 includes a heating assembly 5. The heating assembly 5 is fixed to the housing 1. When the carrier 2 is in the first position, the heating assembly 5 at least partially extends into the carrier 2, so that the heating assembly 5 at least partially inserts into the aerosol generating article received in the carrier 2, so that the heating assembly 5 is used to heat the aerosol generating article to generate an aerosol article for the user to inhale. After inhalation, the user drives the carrier 2 to move from the first position to the second position, so that the aerosol generating article inserted and received in the carrier 2 is separated from the heating assembly 5, facilitating the removal of the aerosol generating article.

[0050] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 , the carrier 2 is provided with an insertion port 23, a first receiving cavity 24 and an opening 25. The carrier 2 has opposite proximal and distal ends. When the user inhales the aerosol generating article, the end of the carrier 2 close to the user is the proximal end, and the end of the carrier 2 away from the user is the distal end. The insertion port 23 is disposed at the proximal end of the carrier 2. The insertion port 23 communicates with the first receiving cavity 24. The insertion port 23 is used for the aerosol generating article to be inserted into the first receiving cavity 24. The opening 25 is disposed at the distal end of the carrier 2. The opening 25 communicates with the first receiving cavity 24. At least a part of the heating assembly 5 is inserted into the first receiving cavity 24 from the opening 25.

[0051] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2, the aerosol generating device 100 includes a sensing element 6 and a controller 7. Both the sensing element 6 and the controller 7 are disposed in the housing 1. The controller 7 is respectively connected to the sensing element 6 and the heating assembly 5. The sensing element 6 is used to sense the position of the carrier 2. When the sensing element 6 senses that the carrier 2 is not in the first position, the heating assembly 5 is locked, that is, the controller 7 locks the heating assembly 5 in a prohibited heating state, preventing the heating assembly 5 from malfunctioning and causing unsafe risks, playing a safety protection role. Also, when the sensing element 6 senses that the carrier 2 is in the first position, the heating assembly 5 is unlocked, that is, the controller 7 releases the heating assembly 5 from the prohibited working state, and the heating assembly 5 can be heated or turned off.

[0052] As an example, the sensing element 6 senses the position of the carrier 2 based on the cooperation with the second magnetic member 4. There is a first distance between the second magnetic member 4 and the sensing element 6. When the carrier 2 is in the first position, the first distance is less than the sensing distance of the sensing element 6, enabling the sensing element 6 to sense the second magnetic member 4, and thus sense that the carrier 2 is in the first position. When the carrier 2 is not in the first position, the first distance is greater than the sensing distance, preventing the sensing element 6 from sensing the second magnetic member 4, and thus sensing that the carrier 2 is not in the first position. As another example, the sensing element 6 is a Hall sensor.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , the number of the first magnetic members 3 and the second magnetic members 4 is two each. The two second magnetic members 4 are respectively disposed on both sides of the carrier 2. The two first magnetic members 3 correspond to the two second magnetic members 4 one by one, making the force on the carrier 2 balanced, and further making the movement of the carrier 2 smooth.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the aerosol generating device 100 includes a power supply assembly 8. The housing 1 is provided with a second accommodation cavity 13. The power supply assembly 8 is accommodated in the second accommodation cavity 13. The power supply assembly 8 is electrically connected to the controller 7 and the heating assembly 5 respectively. The power supply assembly 8 is rechargeable and can be charged by being electrically connected to an external power supply. Of course, the battery core of the power supply assembly 8 can also be disposable.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7, the housing 1 is provided with a sliding column 14, the first limiting member 12 is arranged on the sliding column 14, the second receiving groove 11 is arranged on the sliding column 14, the carrier 2 is provided with a sliding groove 26, and the sliding column 14 is slidably inserted into the sliding groove 26 so that the carrier 3 moves relative to the housing 1 along the sliding column 14. As an example, when the first limiting member 12 is a slider and the second limiting member 22 is a limiting groove, the slider is fixed to the sliding column 14, the limiting groove is arranged on the side wall of the sliding groove 26, and the limiting groove communicates with the sliding groove 26. As another example, when the first limiting member 12 is a limiting groove and the second limiting member 22 is a slider, the limiting groove is arranged on the sliding column 14, and the slider is fixed to the side wall of the sliding groove 26.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, the aerosol generating device 100 includes a housing 1, a carrier 2, a first magnetic member 3 and a second magnetic member 4; the carrier 2 is movably arranged in the housing 1, and the carrier 2 can reciprocate between a first position and a second position relative to the housing 1, and the carrier 2 is used to accommodate at least a part of the aerosol generating article; the first magnetic member 3 is arranged on the housing 1; the second magnetic member 4 is arranged on the carrier 2; wherein, when the carrier 2 is in the first position, the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 4 cooperate to keep the carrier 2 in the first position, and when the carrier 2 is in the second position, the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 4 cooperate to keep the carrier 2 in the second position. By the cooperation of the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 4, the carrier 2 is kept in the first position or the second position. The first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 4 are not easily damaged and have high durability, avoiding the aerosol generating device 100 from being easily damaged and improving the user experience.
